But I thought SD Gundam was licensed already. We got a sampler DVD a few weeks ago from Bandai.

Bandai is using the name SD Gundam (Superior Defender Gundam) for a new CGI show, but I asked Jerry Chu in his channel (A while back, during the whole SEED thing) and he said they'll probably never bring over the original Super Deformed Gundam for the content (Nudity, characters peeing on each other, etc)

I don't know if it's considered okay to fansub something in a case like that...but logic says that since it's never coming to North America that it would make sense for fans to do it. Raws are extremely hard to find since it was only ever released on VHS and never DVD.

Anyway, I don't think the entire series was released on VHS (or LD or any other format). But using Winny or Winmx it's frequently possible to find raws people recorded from the TV broadcast (even for older series). Don't know about Heisei Inu, though. Of the suggestions I've given, probably this is the most difficult one when it comes to raws.

i dont care how much text it contains, but i swear i will give the guy(s) who can sub it truthfully to english a hundred bucks when they do it, because i've been waiting so long already

Well, you're going to either have to deal with inaccurate but more readable translations or accurate but a lot less legible translations. Plus, you're gonna have to pay them about 100 to 1000 times that amount if you want it out in less than a few years, unless they are of course rabid fans of the game and believe that translating it won't destroy it. Then you might see, at best, results in a year or so, but don't hold your breath.

I most want to see a GOOD version of the last parts of Gundam X (Eps. 25-up). All the ones I and my friends have found have had incredibly bad sound (it got quieter and quieter each ep. until you just plain couldn't hear) and poor video quality. Seeing as it was one of the less popular series, I doubt it's coming here anytime soon.

And then of course there's Xabungle. I've got a buddy who has a lot of raws of it (I think possibly the whole series), so they're out there, or at least he can provide them.

Good selection. Like a mahou shoujo fan, of course I'd put Minky Momo in the first place.

ILA has just started subbing Devilman TV. First episode is already out (http://www.ila-fansubs.com or #ila @ mircx.com). BTW, their slong is "where old skool becomes reality".

Shinsen-subs and Gundam Project have just finished subbing the first episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam TV series. I hope they'll continue, as in Gundam Project channel they say "0079 project closed" (or something like that).

I would really like to see Chibi-Maruko chan (the tv series) subbed... This shown ran in the early 90s, had over 100 episodes, and was/still is the highest rated show ever in Japan...

It's a really funny show that follows the antics of a cute young girl (Maruko-chan), her family, and friends... daily life has never been so hilarious

I'm surprised this shown is so hard to find (only chinese vcds appear to be available) - I'm also surprised that no one has brought this show over, or tried fansubbing it... I think it has the potential to be a great hit if someone is willing to sub it... so please, someone pick this show up!

I downloaded the first episode of Devilman. Rather funny. Go Nagai anime needs to be subbed more, they are so camp and fun.

I made a mistake the series was done in 73' so the early 80's part is all wrong.

From what I've read up the manga is even more dark and neato.
ILA is cool, I hope they keep making more old school reality.

I'm not sure the original Devilman TV series was all that true to the manga though. He seems to have become some sort of superhero in tights. I'll go check it out though.

EDIT: Just watched the first episode and it did seem to take only the basic premise of the manga. The manga is darker. It's still fun in a cheesy sort of way, and I like the OP song. (it sounds a lot like the Hawai-5-0 opening song)
I love the 3 OVAs for Deviman, too bad they got such shabby treatment. (only dub releases etc..)
